Nor’easter brings snow, wind, and rain to NJ

TRENTON — New Jersey's late winter nor'easter had a varied impact on Friday.

Conditions ranged from big flakes of snow for North and Central Jersey to rain in South Jersey and along the coast on Friday morning.

Meteorologist Dan Zarrow is still looking at two scenarios for the storm, one which would bring minor to moderate coastal flooding, 40+ mph winds, lots of rain, and just a few inches of snow accumulation among the highest hilltops in northwest New Jersey. Still a nasty, highly impactful storm that could be easily conquered with patience and caution.

Or, another scenario that would cause major coastal flooding and blizzard-like conditions to the roads, with 60+ mph winds.

Zarrow said the wintry mix moved in earlier than he expected.

"The question is whether it sticks and accumulates," Zarrow said.

The morning's high tide flooded out a lane on Route 35 in Brick and Belmar. A lane on Route 40 in Atlantic City was also covered. Route 22 westbound in Union Township was closed at the Garden State Parkway for water that collected under the highway.
